Embracing Struggle: Walking in Hope with Teilhard de Chardin
August 16 - 3:30 pm - August 22 - 11:00 am
The call to embrace struggle is not an act of resignation but a commitment to life in its fullness. In this retreat, we walk with Teilhard de Chardin and explore the major challenges he faced as scientist, believer, lover, Jesuit, mystic, and faithful member of the Church. We notice how his evolutionary worldview influenced his spirituality and prayerfully reflect on our own life experience. This retreat includes opportunities for input, prayer, sharing, and ritual.
